Tees Valley Nature Partnership (TVNP): Unlocking investment for nature and for a stronger, greener Tees Valley.

Where investors, communities and nature come together to shape the future of our region.

Join the Partnership

Our Vision: A Tees Valley where nature, communities and industry thrive together

The Tees Valley is a place where industry and nature sit side-by-side shaping our economy, our health and our future. Our natural assets are vital to wellbeing, climate resilience and creating a place people want to live and invest in.

Protecting what remains is no longer enough. We need to take a more joined-up, long term approach to nature recovery.

The TVNP brings together over 40 organisations to make this happen – aligning expertise, unlocking investment and delivering real change across the region.

Get Involved

Meet the Team

The TVNP is working to restore and improve nature across the region. Our team brings people together – from local authorities and businesses to environmental and community organisations - to turn ideas into action.

We work across the whole of the Tees Valley to ensure nature is part of everyday decision making, supporting partners and communities to create lasting benefits to nature, wildlife and people.

Our Partners

The TVNP works with a wide range of organisations across industry environment, local government, health, academia, culture and the voluntary sector. We bring partners together to support nature recovery across the region – unlocking investment in green and blue spaces, supporting joined-up delivery and helping connect communities with nature.

Together we are building a healthier, more resilient Tees Valley.

Dr. Briony Fox

Director of Conservation & Climate Change

"The North York Moors National Park Authority is proud to be a partner of the Tees Valley Nature Partnership. Nature knows no boundaries and collaborating with our neighbours is essential to ensuring habitats for nature are bigger, better and more joined up so plants and animals can thrive and move freely.

We’re looking forward to collaborating on projects that support nature recovery and strengthen the resilience of our landscapes, helping wildlife and communities across the Tees Valley and the North York Moors National Park area to flourish for generations to come."

Lauren Gibson - MSc. ACIEEM

Ecologist - Economy and Public Protection Group

"I love being part of Tees Valley Nature Partnership because it really feels like we have the ability to transform ambition into action. It is a privilege to work with like-minded individuals and organisations who care deeply about nature restoration, unlocking investment, and restoring habitats to deliver measurable change for climate, wildlife, and communities across our region.

By supporting policies and projects that protect and enhance nature in our region and bring together businesses and the community, we shape a greener future, revitalise wild places, and prove that through collaboration, our region doesn’t just grow, it thrives, creating a lasting natural legacy for generations to come."

Our Strategic Groups:

Putting nature back at the heart of Teesside

We believe the key to a thriving natural environment is putting nature at the heart of decision making - whether it's the choices we make as individuals, by supporting community action, driving sustainable business leadership or by shaping local government policy. To achieve this vision of more nature for more people across the Tees Valley, the TVNP's Governance Board guides our work with partners in these four key strategic groups: Natural Assets, New Environmentalists Working Together (NEWTs), and our Members Forum.

The Natural Assets Group provides technical insight, place-based expertise, and strategic advice to support nature recovery across the Tees Valley.  It focuses on what needs to happen on the ground, and how this aligns with wider strategy and investment.

Natural Assets

NEWTs provides a strategic youth and early-career voice within the Tees Valley Nature Partnership, supporting pathways into skills, careers, and leadership linked to nature, environment, and place.
It ensures the Partnership is investing in future capacity, not just current delivery.

New Environmentalists Working Together

The Nature, Health & Wellbeing Group ensures that nature recovery across the Tees Valley delivers real, measurable benefits for people and communities, as well as for the environment.  It focuses on embedding nature into health outcomes, social wellbeing, and place-based change.

Thriving Together: Working with the Tees Estuary Nature Recovery Partnership

The Tees Estuary Nature Recovery Partnership brings together environmental organisations, local authorities, statutory bodies and other key stakeholders with a singular, ambitious goal: to restore our natural world by 2050. By recovering and integrating nature across the estuary and into the heart of our community spaces, we are building a "bigger, better, and more joined-up" environment. Supported by a dedicated coalition of regional partners, our work ensures that the Tees Valley’s ambitious Net Zero future, our iconic wildlife and local communities flourish together.

A Landscape of Dynamic Contrasts

The Tees Estuary is a rare geographical marvel where heavy industry and wild nature don’t just exist side-by-side, they thrive together. While the region drives the UK’s green energy transition and petrochemical production, its "accidental" wildernesses have become vital sanctuaries. From the historic birthplace of the passenger railway to modern-day gas pipelines, the estuary is a living map of British innovation. This partnership isn't just about protecting what remains; it’s about fully integrating nature into the spaces where we work, live, and manufacture, ensuring a resilient, "Net Zero" future for the entire Tees Valley.

The Estuary’s Wild Residents

Beyond the steel and turbines lies a landscape of international ecological importance. The estuary serves as a critical pitstop for thousands of migrating birds and is home to the iconic Tees seal colony - a symbol of the river’s recovery over the last thirty years. However, the mission goes deeper than the "big stars." The Partnership is focused on the finer details of biodiversity, from rare coastal spiders to the restoration of fragmented seagrass and saltmarshes. By connecting these habitats into a bigger, better, and more joined-up network, we are creating a robust corridor that allows species to migrate and adapt to our changing climate.

A Vision for 2050: People and Place

Nature recovery is as much about human wellbeing as it is about wildlife. Our 2050 vision transforms the Tees Estuary into a world-class destination where nature is a doorstep reality for every resident. Supported by a powerhouse of local partners, from the RSPB and Wildlife Trusts to our Borough Councils, we are breaking down the barriers between urban life and the great outdoors. By improving water and air quality and creating new accessible green spaces, the Partnership is delivering a Nature Recovery Strategy that bolsters community health, supports sustainable development, and invites everyone to rediscover the hidden cultural gems of our coastline.

Featured Project

'Nature as infrastructure' article featured in 'Tees Business Magazine'

Featured in Tees Business magazine, the Tees Valley Nature Partnership (TVNP) is transforming regional development by integrating environmental stewardship directly into industrial strategy. The partnership is spearheading a collaborative approach, providing necessary regulatory clarity and evidence to ensure large-scale regeneration projects align with nature recovery goals. Read the full story at Tees Business.

The Tees Valley Nature Partnership (TVNP), featured in the Spring 2026 issue of Tees Business magazine, is revolutionising regional development by embedding environmental stewardship into industrial planning. Through the Protected Site Strategy, developed with Natural England, the TVNP provides businesses with regulatory certainty, allowing large-scale regeneration to coexist with ecological resilience. This approach ensures that industrial growth in the Tees Estuary actively supports nature recovery efforts.
